Hi guys, thanks for this thread.  I've been contemplating doing cider for a long time now and I can't believe I've only just stumbled across this section.


I live in central qld, so fresh apples are an impossibility, in fact I didn't even think I could get preservative free juice until the other day.  It's 6 bucks for 2L, but that's still cheaper than some ciders.


So in summary, what does this plan seem like.

Buy 2x 2L bottles of apple juice.

Drop 3L into a large 3L bottle of sorts (Seems a waste of time putting it into the fermenter for only 3L?)

Drop in a sachet of yeast.

Put into the fridge at 15 degrees.

Wait for FG.

Bottle with Standard carbing sugars, 2 candy drops per bottle.


Wait.... Serve and top up with remaining Juice to lift the freshness up?
